Headed out of Ballarat just before 10 for a leisurely drive down to Geelong and through to Portarlington, where we have camped. Took off to Queenscliff, about 25 kms away, to check out the ferry terminal for Wed morning's crossing to Sorrento. Visited Point Lonsdale before heading back via St. Leonard's and Indented Head so we could travel beside the sea back to here. A lovely day out - though colder than we have had so far - forgot we are quite a bit further south than we have been!! Not windy, and Corio Bay is like a millpond - a real...

Today Peter and Ali showed us around their “neighborhood”. Went to Port Phillip, Point Lonsdale, Morningston Peninsula National Park and Queenscliff.
